Yes I know pdroid, but I am looking for a solution für cm9. 2/3 of my apps request permissions I don't want to grant them. This is what currently keeps me from switching to cm9.

I am surprised that features like face-unlock or audiotrack-skipping-by-volumebuttons get more attention than the feature to control permission rights of applications. This in times where apps request more an more permissions with every update and it gets more important for users to take care of their privacy.
[HTC Desire S] big-okieh:
Fully agree! I miss that feature as well! But for the time being I did it the other way around: Using CM9 and waiting for a PDroid update to support ICS. ;)
[HTC Desire S] ramiro.f:
What's with the Music app in the current release? The previous releases had the new, classy, ICS goodness filled music app. The current version looks decidedly... gingerbready.

I hope this is not the direction for CM9 - I don't listen to that much music but it really is a bit of a jarring experience, it doesn't fit with the rest of the rom at all...

[HTC Desire S] Likalnik:
Hi,

I have problem with FB sync, they didnt show me contacs in my phone book...what can I do about this issue?
[HTC Desire S] crescal:
known issue which should be an issue of fb api. use substitute apps such as friendcaster
[HTC Desire S] Likalnik:
Tnx for this info, hope they will fix this issue soon....Is this is just temprerary issue or from the begining ICS
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
AWESOME. Back to CM :D
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
Nexx, in proxuser's builds that were a mix between AOSP and CM9, it was a program called CM Settings from where I could configure notification power widget, brightness levels and some other tabs without any use... I couldn't find that program and also no CM settings. Did I miss something or they're not included yet in the ROM?
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
Updated to new build.

After each start, popups window that says, Gallery stopped working.

Home button working, gmail too. Thanks for your great work :)
[HTC Desire S] Lodberg:
I don't have the problem. Installed the build after a full wipe.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:

I would like to change the notification widgets too
[HTC Desire S] korenisko:
Not working: FM radio
[HTC Desire S] M..N:
Might I ask what the browser bug was?
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Maybe you should try the attached app..
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
I'm not sure what this app is or where it's come from, but the native CM9 settings are still in development right now.

I'll take a look at proxuser's ROM, perhaps provide this settings app as a seperate download.

I haven't seen any issues with the gallery I'm afraid. It's possible that a file on your SD card is causing the crash.

Noted, thanks. I'll look into this for the next release.

It was a severe memory corruption issue affecting webcore, a couple of setting changes fixed it in the end =)

Keep the feedback coming!
[HTC Desire S] M..N:
Okay nice good to see its fixed, anyway is there any noticeable graphical glitches or tearing ,or has that been fixed?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
That seems to be fixed, although some youtube videos still stutter.
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
The settings app I posted is the one from proxusers rom. Looks like an early preview. But works for quick settings and lights I think.
[HTC Desire S] M..N:
Yeah I believe there is a problem with lag on HD videos
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Does this have slow rendering like quattro or is that fixed here?
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
Whoever wants rw access from adb...

To mount system rw in adb you have to edit /default.prop first and set ro.secure to 0
[HTC Desire S] nk111:
IMHO its faster here. I had a delay when opening pages on the latest virtuos. This not present here. But when you scroll very fast you still see blurry areas.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
Thanks I'll try it out
[HTC Desire S] Rapier:
APK was linked by nk111 one post before yours HERE. I'll try it and see if it works.

It also seems that the signal is slightly weaker in CM compared to other ICS ROMs. I'm currently using beta8r2 from superkid/m-deejay and in the same location on that ROM I have full signal with HSDPA and with CM9 I have random signal breaks and often switching from GPRS to 3G
[HTC Desire S] :
^ This.

I guess it could be radio related, my version is 3822.10.08.04_M.

Compared with CM7, both GSM and WLAN signal is much weaker. I can barely have WLAN reception now where before was pretty strong.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
I think proxuser has ported BeatMod Ice Cream Sandwich where CM Settings.apk was introduced by LorD ClockaN

[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Hello everyone.

Once again I find myself apologising for the lack to updates for this ROM. Unfortunately, on top of everything else, I've been plagued with internet issues since I was moved onto ADSL2+, it makes uploading a new build extremely difficult.

I've tried this change locally and unfortunately it doesn't help. GTA3 is a great test-case for triggering the crash and with those changes for our device it still happens. It's very much a kernel issue, but one we're yet to solve as a lot of development work is going on with the 8660 devices right now, 7x30 has taken a back seat.

With the state of things right now, I'm not willing to give an ETA but I'll get a new build out when there is time to do it.

I'm afraid I haven't seen this happen =\

As the ROM stands right now we have a couple of issues since the last build:

The Quattro audio libs no longer work, so we're back to a broken mic for applications.

The current camera work doesn't load correctly, so that's broken again too.

HTC is supposed to be releasing ICS for the Desire S in April I believe. I do hope they quickly follow it up with a matching kernel source as well as that will solve a whole heap of our issues. Right now the big things which are kind of at a stand-still are:

Crashes in 3D heavy applications (GTA3 / etc)

Hardware video encoding (Camcorder) and decoding (HD playback / Flash acceleration)

Proper USB support (USB gadget support rather than our Legacy USB wrapper)

ICS level camera binaries

The above are all things which should be easily solved when we're using a newer 3.0 kernel and correct ICS libraries for msm7x30.

Hopefully this little update will help you understand why progress has slowed dramatically. I've certainly not stopped development, not to mention all the work nk111 has done.

I will try and get the camera and mic working again, then see about releasing another build with newer CM9 code / etc. I'd just rather not release something knowing it's more of a step backwards than forwards.
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
Thanks for the update,

Just to let you know - IceColdSandwich ROM has managed to get panoramic photos working, if you do manage to fix camera libs this might be cool to implement.

This progress sounds really fantastic! The Camera has been the only real problem for some time and it looks like it might be fixed soon, I hate to sound pushy but we'd all love to try it.... I also want to thank all you guys for the work you put in I'm very grateful.
[HTC Desire S] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Lmfao that's my rom, I don't give permission to port ;) nah joke, but to fix the camcorder, all you have to do is install the 'videocam illusion' app from the market, and the camcorder works in it. :D
[HTC Desire S] BillGoss:
I used the GPS today and it worked perfectly once I had calibrated the compass. 2s to get a fix! I used Sygic to navigate to a location more than an hour away and everything worked perfectly.

Then, when it was time to come home - about 2 hours later - I couldn't get a GPS fix. I noticed that the GPS icon wasn't showing on the task bar any more. I tried wiping cache/Dalvik, clearing the data of network locations, uninstalling Sygic, but all to no avail.

Here's a logcat dump of when I enable GPS, if it's of any use.

http://db.tt/w9urqNAZ

I'm rather disappointed, as I'm going on holidays soon and I was looking forward to using the GPS on this ROM. Now I'm looking at reverting to CM 7, unless somebody can come up with a fix.

Edit:

I tried other ROMs and it made no difference. So I flashed the radio again and the the ROM got stuck on the boot animation. I wiped everything and started from scratch again and, somehow, GPS started working again.

So, it WASN'T a problem with the ROM. I thought it might be a hardware issue, but since it's working again, I can't say for sure.

Videocam illusion works indeed :) but when I set the resolution higher it starts to lag, standard setting is 480x320.
[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
Hey everyone, just a little progress update for you all as I've been so quiet recently:

Native microphone support:

Thanks to Ethan Chen we have the microphone working natively, no more using old code or libs copied from elsewhere! Seems to be working well and should be merged soon. All the apps I've tested which use the mic work great.

Phone encryption:

Encryption is now supported by the build but causes a crash during the actual encryption process. For some reason that I'm yet to discover, at 40-45% progress in the encryption the baseband dies with the following, cryptic, message:

[ 159.612487] [SMD]ARM9 has CRASHED
[ 159.612609] [SMD]smem: DIAG '[RadioFatal] 18:55:28 FATAL: dog (fs:00000) (irq:0)

This obviously reboots the phone and kills the encryption. I'm still working on this but it's the last bug to fix before encryption works fully.

Camera support:

TwistedUmbrella has been the primary developer on the camera code. As things stand right now, he is looking into using something other than the wrapper we have been using previously. He has abandoned the wrapper code changes on gerrit so I'm afraid that's all I know. However, nk111 has been working on this and I need to catch up with him to see where things stand with his progress.

True camcorder support is reliant on OMX working (hardware video decoding / encoding). Some work is being done on the decoding side right now, once that's functional, videos and flash should be nice and fluid again.

Kernel crashes due to KGSL:

No progress. This looks to be a bug which won't be fixed until we have a 3.0 kernel source from HTC. I've spent a lot of time trying to merge the code needed for saga into the CodeAurora Forum 3.0 kernel but HTC have simply made too many hacky code changes to port it over. Running GTA3 is a sure-fire way to trigger the crash.

FM radio:

In progress but low on the priority list right now I'm afraid.

I've avoided releasing a new build recently as it would be a step backwards (camera broken, mic was broken). Hopefully we'll see a bit of movement with the camera soon and I can push a build out without removing features you've all been using.

Oh, and lock-screen volume skipping is back and working, as well as a host of other CyanogenMod updates!

Thank you all for your patience, it's taking time but we're getting there. Small steps =)

Do I need to use a certain radio for the ICS ROMs? Have tried the one that came with the phone and latest one in the radio thread but I can't get this to get a carrier. Boots with radio off (as shown in about screen), like its in airplane mode. Turning it on/off makes no difference.

Followed the guides to get HBOOT-6.98.1002 S-OFF installed and put on Touch Recovery. I can restore a backup of my stock ROM and everything works. Can even load up your CM7 ROM and that works as well but not ICS. Reckon I've made a rookie mistake but can't figure out what. Did the usual format/wipes before loading the zip. Tried a data reset afterwards but no good.

[HTC Desire S] kaijura:
There's a working back cam code that fixes the artifacts. The source released today by taiwan group QiSS (website qiss.mobi).

Basically the problem they mentioned was from jpg encoding after taking the picture.

I just built it with the changes on the CM gerrit and my back cam is working flawlessly - but I think there are still a few bugs to iron out if this method is implemented.
[HTC Desire S] dave-:
I did it by putting the PG88IMG.zip in root and letting the bootloader do it auto.. In any case, I ended up going back to a 100% stock phone with the Telstra RUU in the sticky.

Edit: Yep rookie mistake! I was flashing the wrong radio. ROM up and working but unfortunately had to go back to Nexx's CM7.1 ROM because I couldn't get this one to show up when pairing the BT in my car (IceColdSandwich 5.1 is the same so must be ICS?). Will try next build if there are any BT changes :(

[HTC Desire S] Nexx:
New build posted =)

Changelog:

14 Mar 2012:
- Updated camera code, now maintained by TwistedUmbrella
- CM9 Volume wake / media skipping re-added
- Phone profiles support
- Native audio libraries (mic working in apps without Quattro libs)
- In-development OMX support (video decoding)
- Updated Google Apps
- Latest CM9 code + fixes
- USB tethering fixes

Important note:

Please do NOT use the new CM9 boot animation as doing so triggers the long-standing KGSL kernel crash on every boot. If you install the new boot animation you will have to re-flash the ROM via recovery to be able to boot once again.

With the upcoming release of ICS for our device I'm hoping HTC will be prompt on releasing their msm7x30 ICS kernel source. Many of the problems which remain can only be fixed with an updated kernel.

We have access to ICS msm7x30 libraries and drivers now (from the HTC One V) but most require the features of a 3.0.x kernel to work correctly. nk111 and I have been testing the ICS camera libraries on our 2.6.35 kernel and they are prone to crashing due to missing kernel code.

Once again, I'm truly sorry for the delay in releasing an update but a host of issues have popped up over the last month which has taken me away from development. Things are hopefully going to settle soon and the real fun will come with the updated kernel source =)

Thank you to you all for your support and continued donations, it means the world to me.
[HTC Desire S] vibez:
Great stuff Nexx.

Do you know if AVRCP is due to come back in CM9 at all? I miss it from the CM7 days..
[HTC Desire S] jacobras:
Wondering exactly the same!

@vibez: do you happen to know what version of AVRCP CM7 supports?

Oh, and of course thanks for a new build, will flash it when I get home.
[HTC Desire S] lavier:
Is camera corruption still ther???
[HTC Desire S] vibez:
I heard the CM7 supported v1.3 at one point, although I have never been able to find a rom for our desire that contained it.

1.3 is needed to send track info via bluetooth
[HTC Desire S] djsubtronic:
@Nexx, thanks for the update. A few preliminary observations:

- Calendar still doesn't work

- Hardware keys still don't light up

- Network mode still doesn't survive reboot (always reverts to "WCDMA preferred")

- YouTube app disappeared when I flashed new update + new gapps, downloaded it again from Market and now it doesn't seem to play videos at all (before it would play but with super slow video now it just keeps appearing to buffer but nothing happens - I would have thought OMX support would have helped if anything.

Will report again after some more testing.
[HTC Desire S] hyperdude111:
Thanks for the build Nexx,

Just wondering, nk111 managed to get face unlock working a few pages back. Is that included in this build?
[HTC Desire S] kaijura:
newest camera hal should kill most if any corruption, so glitches should not be there.

Facelock as well as video chat/conferencing should be working 100% if all is set correctly and built with proper files.

Thanks to all contributors especially twistedumbrella, (including nk111 and Nexx here) for their continued work on getting this working for everyone.
